Please note that it is especially important to
change your passwords on
the Wikimania wikis where you have accounts. These are non-SUL wikis and
changing your SUL password will not effect a change on the Wikimania 2013
and 2014 wikis. Even if you never intend to edit those wikis again, your
password and account could still hypothetically be compromised.
wikimania2013.wikimedia.org and
wikimania2014.wikimedia.org are both part
of SUL, so most users should use their CentralAuth account to login. They
are slightly odd in that we don't give you a cookie for those sites when
you initially login on another wiki, but with SUL2, you *should* get logged
in when you visit the site.
However, since SUL2 is relatively new, and you wouldn't get automatically
logged in when visiting the site with the original SUL, I'm guessing many
users visited the wikimania sites for the first time, logged in with their
centralauth username and password, and continued on their way, which is one
of the conditions where the local wiki stores the password hash used to
initially create the account. So there is probably a higher number of users
here who were notified, than on some of the other wikis.
That's odd, Chris - I distinctly remember that I could not log in to either
2013 or 2014 Wikimania wikis but was required to create a new
account. Perhaps that was before SUL2?
